I realize we’re all hanging onto summer for dear life, and maybe not ready to hear about all the helpful cold & flu herbs.

But I can’t wait any longer to talk about Astragalus! We spent FIVE years growing the roots for this tincture, so patience has run out. I’ve wanted this herb for myself for as long as we’ve been growing it!

Astragalus is used in herbal medicine to help maintain a healthy immune system, and as an adaptogen to help increase energy and resistance to stress.

Here’s the important thing to know: astragalus is what’s called an immunomodulating herb - different from immune boosting. Rather than revving your system quickly to fight infection (like echinacea), it helps the immune system respond appropriately - supporting it when it’s under-active, and helping calm it when its overactive. It’s a daily, foundational herb.

Astragalus also needs consistent use for a few weeks for best effects, which is the second reason I’m sharing it now, before the season turns.

If you know fall and winter tend to run you down, now’s the time to start.

New to tinctures? simply add to a little water. This one tastes sweet & mild.

This small-batch, Ontario grown gem is now available online.

We weren’t planning to showcase our Breathe tea until back-to-school season.

But alas, the air quality index where we live sits at 11 today, wildfire smoke thick in the air, and a low-grade headache and scratchy throat settling in. (And we’re not even remotely close to the fires).

I feel heavy thinking about the habitats that have burned, and all of the creatures wounded or displaced. I feel heavy thinking about how our gov’t gets away with aerial pesticide programs in Crown forests. (Yes, forest fires are a natural phenomena with ecological functions, but are we disrupting their natural balance and fanning the flames?).

As heavy as it all feels, these events can serve as a catalyst to connect us back to the land and its bounty. This is a chance to use some brilliant & easy to grow local herbs to help ease symptoms and bring comfort.

I bet you have some of these on hand already, whether in your pantry or on your lawn:

For soothing irritation (demulcents): Marshmallow root, mullein leaf, plantain leaf and violet leaf are all rich in mucilage and can relieve dry, smoke-induced coughs and scratchy throats.

For upper respiratory relief: Peppermint’s menthol content makes it a natural decongestant, thyme’s antispasmodic properties help calm irritated, tight airways, and sage is lovely for easing a sore throat.

Use what you have, brew up a tea, add some soothing honey.

We’re also happy to help stock your cupboards. Our beautiful Breathe tea has Mullein, Red Clover, Tulsi Basil, Marshmallow Leaf & Flower, Anise Hyssop.

Our tea blends Ultimint, Forest Air, & Forests’s Edge also have many of the herbs mentioned above.

If you know someone in need without access to these herbs, please message us and we’ll do what we can to help.

A herb can sit in a warehouse for years before it ends up on that shelf with a shiny new label. By the time it’s in your cart or mug, it could be WAY past its prime.

After 12-18 months, herbs don’t go “bad”, but they fade. Less aroma, less flavour, less potency. (“Natural flavour” is often added to mask this)

A functional or medicinal tea may just become flavoured water.

‘Know your food, know your farmer’ isn’t just a nice slogan, it represents quality, freshness, transparency, connection. Food for thought next time you’re in that tea aisle.
